2-Day 1 Night Zanzibar Holiday Package

Overview

Not everyone visiting Zanzibar has time for a full beach holiday, this package is built for travelers with just two days who still want a genuine taste of the island. It covers Stone Town's historic, UNESCO-listed streets, a spice and botanical farm tour inland, and a stop at Prison Island with the chance to snorkel, all packed into a tight but rewarding 2-day, 1-night itinerary.

Because airport transfers are included, we'll check your flight times and coordinate the schedule with you directly, so the itinerary fits naturally around your actual arrival and departure. If you have more time to spend and want to add the beaches of the north or east coast, ask us about extending this into a longer Zanzibar holiday.

  • Stone Town's historic centre: the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, the Palace Museum and the former slave market site
  • A spice and botanical tour, taste tropical fruits and see clove, cardamom and other spices growing
  • Prison Island with the option to snorkel
  • Hotel accommodation and round-trip airport transfers included

Frequently asked questions

Is 2 days really enough to see Zanzibar?

It's enough for a genuine taste of the island's history and culture, Stone Town and a spice tour are both compact, well-suited to a short visit, but it won't give you beach time or a chance to explore the north or east coast. If beaches are a priority, we'd suggest extending this package by a few days, just ask us.

Can this package start on any date?

Yes, this trip is flexible and can start on any date you request. Since airport transfers are included, we'll coordinate the exact schedule with you based on your actual flight times.

Is the Prison Island and snorkeling stop included by default?

The standard 2-day itinerary covers Stone Town and the spice tour. Prison Island with snorkeling can be added, commonly as a half-day extension, let us know when booking if you'd like to include it and we'll advise on how it fits around your schedule.

How fit do I need to be for this trip?

Both days involve walking, the Stone Town tour covers a fair amount of ground on foot through narrow streets, and the spice tour includes walking through plantation paths, but neither is strenuous. This is an accessible trip for most fitness levels.

What's included in the price?

The price covers bed-and-breakfast accommodation, return airport-to-hotel transfers, full-board meals, transport during excursions, entrance fees, drinking water during excursions, and a professional driver-guide. Flights to Zanzibar, optional add-ons like Prison Island and snorkeling (unless specifically arranged), and personal expenses are not included unless stated. See the full "What's included" and "Not included" sections on this page for the complete breakdown.

Is this trip suitable for families with children?

Yes, Stone Town's historic sites and the hands-on spice tour (tasting fruits, seeing how spices grow) tend to appeal to children, and the relatively short, structured nature of a 2-day trip makes for an easy pace for families.

What about visas and travel insurance?

Most nationalities can obtain a Tanzania tourist visa online via the eTA system before travel, or on arrival (this covers Zanzibar as part of Tanzania). The visa costs USD 50 for most nationalities and USD 100 for US citizens. Comprehensive travel insurance is recommended for all travelers.

What if our flight is delayed or our plans change?

Since this package coordinates closely with your actual flight times for transfers, let our team know as soon as you're aware of any delay or change, and we'll adjust the schedule accordingly. Our local team in Zanzibar can typically accommodate reasonable shifts in timing.
